    In this episode of Author to Author, Dr. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson interviews Joy Ruli Domangue on her book Janie's Prayer: and Our Lady's Message (January 29, 2026)

    An only child in a Catholic family during the 1980's, eleven-year-old Janie is overjoyed at the birth of her new sister, Lily. When grief strikes, Janie sets out on a mission to restore her family. Events in the news, a Gospel passage and Our Lady of Fatima each play a role in helping Janie. After becoming the target of the class bully, Janie sets out on a new mission; befriend the bully. Janie confides in her best friends and in her diary, which she considers to be letters to God, and shares them with the reader throughout the story. In part two, Janie's whole world is turned upside-down. Physical and emotional changes occur just in time for Janie to begin eighth-grade. Janie's Faith wavers. Capturing the nostalgia of the 1980's, "Janie's Prayer" borders on Historical Fiction when Janie suddenly finds herself in Fatima in the year 1917. Why is she there? Is Janie supposed to help?

    Episode 347: Sr. Adaku Helen Ogbuji on Influence of Childhood Experiences on Faith Development (November 18, 2024)
    Nov 19 2024
    In this episode of Author to Author, Dr. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson interviews Sr. Adaku Helen Ogbuji, CCVI, Ph.D., on her book Influence of Childhood Experiences on Faith Development: A Journey toward Wholeness.

    This book examines how childhood experiences impact faith development in religious individuals. Drawing from semi-structured interviews with 80 consecrated persons, the book reveals that early experiences, whether positive or adverse, can deeply influence adult behavior, especially in religious life. Guided by theories like Erik Erikson’s psychosocial development and James Fowler’s faith development, Ogbuji explores how formative experiences shape adult attitudes toward faith, relationships, and authority. The book highlights challenges faced by consecrated persons, including lingering effects of childhood trauma, which can manifest as emotional instability, attachment issues, or even aggressive behavior in community settings. Ogbuji advocates for a holistic formation process, suggesting that therapeutic interventions and ongoing psychological and spiritual support can help religious individuals achieve wholeness. She also calls for well-trained formators who understand the complex emotional needs of candidates. Ultimately, the book emphasizes the importance of addressing personal histories to foster emotional and spiritual maturity, creating healthier, more joyful communities. The work serves as a valuable resource for religious formators, superiors, and all those interested in understanding how early life influences vocational development and overall well-being in religious life.

    Episode 346: Dr. Gerard Verschuuren on his book Disputed Catholic Landmarks (November 11, 2024)
    Nov 11 2024
    In this episode of Author to Author, Dr. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson interviews Dr. Gerard Verschuuren on his book Disputed Catholic Landmarks (November 11, 2024)

    Everyone’s life has landmarks: when you were born, when you graduated from school, when you got your first job, when you got married, and so many more. There must be many landmarks in the history of the Catholic Church, too. Just think of issues such as the Crusades, the Inquisition, the Protestant Reformation, the Holocaust, and several more. What all of them also have in common is that they are disputed, challenged, and contested—ripe for discussion and open to various interpretations. Is it possible to dispel misinformation from people’s minds that are filled with prejudiced opinions? Verschuuren endeavors in this book to do just that, separating truths from untruths, facts from fictions, and information from disinformation.

    Martha, efficient and ever busy, loves everything about volunteering at her parish – except for the annoying presence of the elderly, Bible-quoting, lavender-clad Marya, known to the locals as The Purple Pest.When a priest in the parish confesses to the murder of a parishioner, it seems that Marya is the only person who doesn’t believe in his guilt. Martha is not amused when Marya seeks her help to prove his innocence…

    Oct 29 2024
    In this episode of Author to Author, Dr. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson interviews Diego Passadore on his book Mary, the New Woman: A Judeo-Christian view of the Conception, in the history of Salvation, of the Divine Will in the Sovereign of Heaven.

    Mary, the New Woman is an apologetic exegesis from the Bible, Jewish texts, and other Christian confessions, designed to bring the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception closer to the unbeliever and to promote the dignity of women in a world that objectifies them. Its invitation to conversion can help in Christian Unity and increase Christian faith through its instruction on how to savor the depth of the Bible and how to increase hope in the invisible advance of the Kingdom of God.
